A lot of us want to improve our cooking skills. After all, we need to eat and what we eat is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Even if you're not interested in cooking healthy food, learning how to cook comes with a lot of benefits.
Let's see what those benefits are, the challenges you'll face, the cooking skills that children learn at school, and how a private cooking tutor can help you to make better food.
If you decide to take cookery classes, attend a workshop, or learn from a private tutor, you'll be able to have more control over what you eat and the quality of your food. When you learn how to cook, you'll also learn about different ingredients, how to use them, and how they affect the flavour and nutritional value of your food.
Learning to cook is really useful for those with allergies or dietary requirements as you have complete control over what goes into every course. Rather than buy something, you can make it and ensure it doesn't contain anything you can't or don't want to eat. This is particularly useful if you have children as you'll want to make sure they're eating right.
Cooking is also a great way to save money. After all, it's much cheaper to buy raw ingredients than eat prepackaged food, go to a restaurant, or order a takeaway. If you make all your own food from scratch, you can save quite a bit of money.
That said, if learning how to cook was that easy, everyone would be taking cookery classes or know how to cook. The first problem most cookery students encounter is finding the time to learn. If you didn't learn when you were kids, you mightn't have as much free time now. Between work and family commitments, you mightn't be able to attend lessons or workshops.
Time is money, too, so if you want to spend all this time learning how to cook, you may have to pay for it. Most cookery classes or workshops aren't free and while you can find recipes online for free, you might have to pay for the best cookbooks. Then you need to invest in the equipment for certain recipes and the ingredients, too.
Then there's the convenience. You need to be motivated to spend all that time and money learning how to cook and the entire world seems to be great at making you want cheaper, easier, or unhealthier alternatives. Convenience is key and be it prepackaged food, restaurants, or takeaways, it can seem like nobody actually wants you to learn how to cook.
Most kids will get some experience with cookery classes at school but in many cases, they'll be discouraged from taking their studies further in place of more "academic" subjects. That said, learning to cook will teach them a set of skills that they'll be able to use for the rest of their life. By learning to cook or bake at home, they can lead healthier lives and save money by buying ingredients that they'll prepare for themselves.
At GCSE, students in some schools Leicester will have the option to study a GCSE in food preparation and nutrition. During the course, they'll learn not just cooking skills but also about the ingredients they use, where they come from, and the benefits they can have.
They'll study nutrition, energy, nutrients, food additives and fortification, water and fibre, health issues, and vegetarianism and veganism. Students will also cover food provenance, how to be an effective consumer, how to make decisions when shopping, food safety, and learn about allergies and intolerances.
While courses at school or workshops may be too broad for what you want to learn, private cooking lessons can be tailored to exactly what you want to learn and how you want to learn.
For example, if you just want to learn some simple home recipes, how to bake a cake, or how to make dishes that the kids will love, your tutor can focus on that. Your tutor can even tailor lessons to you and your kitchen. After all, not all of us have the same kitchen or equipment as a professional chef.
Those training to become a professional chef can have lessons on health and safety, food preparation, or learning how to make the dishes they need to know for a certain job. You probably won't want to learn how to make Indian food if you're going to be working in an Italian restaurant, for example.
Tutors can also tailor their courses to children. Cooking and baking are great skills for children to have and, as you've seen, there aren't tonnes of opportunities for them to learn these skills in school. Cooking is a fun hobby that will help them in later life.
If you've decided that a cooking class is for you or your children, you can easily find private tutors in Leicester and around Leicestershire on the Superprof website. After a quick search, you can view each tutor's profile, see what experience they have, compare how much they charge, and check if they offer the first class for free.
A free class is useful as it allows you to try out different tutors before deciding on the best one for you. As you may be spending a lot of time with them, you'll want to make sure that you also get along with them. We learn much more effectively when we're having fun or in a good mood so the rapport you have with your tutor will be very important.
If you can't find any tutors near you, you can find online cooking tutors all over the United Kingdom and around the world. If there's a specific international cuisine you'd like to learn about, online cooking lessons are a great idea!
